You’ve developed a small crush on Satoru since you first enrolled at Jujutsu Tech 12 years ago, where you were both 18 and 17. And over time, that crush grew into something much deeper. Despite wanting to confess for so long, you never seemed to find any guts to do so.

Today, you were sitting together on a bench under the cherry blossoms, casually chatting about everything and nothing at the same time. The wind was cool and refreshing, and it was the perfect way to wind down after a long mission partnered with him. But as you felt a sudden warmth in your chest, you realized it was the right moment to confess.

Without thinking and you accidentally interuppted him while he was still talking, you gently took both of his hands in yours and blurted out, "Satoru... I like you. We’ve been friends for so long, and over time, I developed feelings for you. I couldn’t shake this feeling, so I decided I needed to tell you. And I thought right now is the right time to confess, and It’s okay if you don’t feel the same because—"

You were cut off as Satoru placed a single finger on your lips, signaling you to stop. With a soft smile, he quietly said, "I like you too."
